Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way
$2K to $5K
Bulk-Order Gamble
  • Inventory from past orders still in your office
  • XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
  • Pieces go missing. You give the rest away
Your Pro Shop
$0 UPFRONT
No Inventory Ever
  • Member orders one, we print one
  • Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
  • Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin
Old Way
3 WEEKS
To Reorder Anything
  • 24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
  • Charged per color, per placement, per design
  • Sold out of sizes or colors staff want
  • Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks
Your Pro Shop
~1 WEEK
Door to Door
  • No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
  • Unlimited colors, designs, placements
  • Staff pick size and color at checkout
  • USA printed and shipped free to their door
Old Way
2 WASHES
Until It's Cardboard
  • Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
  • Staff stop wearing it
  • You and your program officers reach for the foundation polo
Your Pro Shop
50+ WASHES
Still Soft
  • Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
  • Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
  • Your members reach for the foundation hoodie, not the other brand

Executive Director Reviews

Hear from community foundation executive directors and program officers running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the foundationes already running their apparel through us.

MR
Mike R.
Executive Director · 18 staff
Q: DO EMBROIDERED FOUNDATION POLOS LOOK LIKE A REAL NONPROFIT OR CHEAP PROMO?

"Executive director, mid-sized community foundation, eighteen staff, twenty-one board. Used to order bulk gala polos from a promo company. Stiff fabric, bagged out by the second event. Embroidered Sport-Tek polos through the Pro Shop. Sharp chest crest with the foundation name, clean fit on staff at the donor reception. Board staff started wearing them to the office, not just the gala."

JT
Jenna T.
Program Officer · 21 board
Q: A NEW SCHOLARSHIP COHORT JOINS IN AUGUST AND WE NEED THIRTY HOODIES WITH NAMES.

"Used to bulk-order cohort hoodies in three sizes and end up with eight extra adult mediums in the office closet. Now every scholarship recipient picks their own size and color from the link with their name on the chest. New cohort staff who confirm in August still get their hoodie to their dorm in a week. Cohort retention talks start with the hoodie."

RK
Ryan K.
Board Chair · 30 cohort
Q: I AM THE ED, COMMS LEAD AND PROGRAM OFFICER. WHO BUILDS THIS?

"Executive director wearing four hats at a $40M community foundation. Done-For-You plan built the entire foundation store: embroidered staff polos, board tees, donor gift apparel, scholarship cohort hoodies, volunteer shirts. I send the foundation logo and brand guide once a month, they swap collections for grant season, gala season and scholarship cycle. Saved an estimated forty staff hours the first quarter."

Executive Director & Foundation Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our community foundation logo, mission tagline and program names on custom community foundation apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, polo, hoodie, sweatshirt and embroidered hat supports your community foundation logo, mission tagline, founding year, regional name and program callouts (Scholarship Cohort, Grants Program, Field of Interest funds, Donor Circle, Volunteer Corps). Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee. Community foundation logo apparel for staff, board, donors, scholarship recipients and volunteer crews, all on the same shop URL.

Do you produce annual reports, plaques, donor recognition signage or grant agreements?+

No. Annual reports, recognition plaques, signage, banners and grant documents are categories you handle in-house or with a print and signage shop. What we do best: the community foundation apparel side. Staff polos, board member tees, donor-event gift tees, scholarship cohort hoodies, volunteer shirts, embroidered hats. The branded gear staff wear at the office, board wear at the gala and scholarship recipients keep wearing on campus.

Do you have ladies cuts, plus sizes and inclusive sizing for the whole foundation team and board?+

Yes. Most apparel runs from XS through adult 3XL, plus size included on most blanks. Ladies cuts on tees, polos and hoodies. Build a Staff, Board, Volunteers, Donors, Scholarship Cohort and Youth Programs section in one foundation shop. Same retail logic. you set the markup per item across every group.

Can staff, board, donors and scholarship recipients order their apparel directly from the foundation shop?+

That's the whole point. Drop the foundation shop link in the all-staff email, the board portal, the donor newsletter, the scholarship welcome packet, or pin it on the foundation's Instagram and LinkedIn. Staff, board, donors, volunteers and scholarship cohorts check out themselves with their size and color. Embroidered foundation polos, donor gift tees, volunteer hoodies and scholarship cohort apparel ship to their door free in about a week. You never count sizes for a gala or stuff envelopes at the office again.

Will embroidered foundation polos and donor-gift tees hold up after office wear, gala nights and weekly washes?+

Yes. Embroidered Gildan and Sport-Tek polos, Bella+Canvas tees, Champion hoodies, embroidered Yupoong and Otto Cap hats. Real fabrics, not the thin promo polo from cheap conference vendors. Staff wear them every day, board wear them on gala nights, scholarship recipients wear them across campus through every wash. Pull a few samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink, Vistaprint or SwagUp for foundation merch. Why switch?+

Three reasons most community foundations switch within a quarter. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per embroidery. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors and elements. Permanence: theirs is event-by-event bulk ordering (gala, scholarship reception, donor weekend). Ours is a permanent community foundation online store at your URL year-round, ready for the next grant cycle, scholarship cohort and donor event.

Do I pay anything when a staff member, board member or donor orders? What about scholarship recipient gift apparel?+

Zero cost when a staff member, board member or donor orders. They pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 markup lands directly in the foundation dashboard as program revenue (or set retail at base so the only cost is the shirt). The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For scholarship cohort gift hoodies and donor recognition apparel, self-order at base price. No contracts. Cancel anytime.
